Between 4:00 and 9:00 on the morning of the 15th, the 151st Airborne Division and the 152nd Airborne Division had all landed at Longjiang Airport.

The airborne troops moved so quickly that the surrounding Japanese troops had no time to react!

By the time the Japanese discovered that the Chinese were continuously transporting personnel and supplies to the airport, the highlands within 2 kilometers around Longjiang were already controlled by two airborne divisions.

In the process of continuously transporting people and materials, some of the 300 transport planes suffered mechanical failures and were unable to take off, while others crashed halfway.

The number has dropped to about 280.

Fighters are in a similar situation.

Longjiang Airport was attacked by several large groups of Japanese troops. The brothers of the Airborne Division occupied the geographical advantage and were supported by fighter jets, repelling the Japanese attacks with minimal casualties.

Judging from aerial reconnaissance, there are at least three divisions of Japanese troops heading towards Longjiang Airport.

More brutal and larger-scale battles are still waiting for the soldiers at the rear.

An Ziliang took advantage of the gap between Japan and Japan before launching large-scale attacks, and organized soldiers to rush to repair the runway and build a wireless communication base.

It was just after 9 a.m., and the airport tower was already working normally.

An Ziliang can mobilize the transport aircraft in the sky to land and take off through the tower, which greatly improves the airport's utilization efficiency.

At the same time, there is a high-power radio station in the tower, which can directly communicate with fighter jets, transport aircraft and ground troops.

The speed of air support is accelerated. With efficient communication, fighter planes can support ground positions point-to-point, greatly reducing defensive pressure.

At this point, it can be said that the combat methods of the 6th Corps have undergone great changes. Both tactics and strategies are far superior to the little devils.

The transport plane carrying the technical backbone of the engineering force and a large amount of equipment began to land at Longjiang Airport.

After having supplies, the fighter jets hovering around Longjiang Airport to support them could land directly at the airport to replenish fuel and ammunition, and then take off again to attack the Japanese army. Air power was always present, with almost no blank time.

The Japanese who were rushing to Longjiang Airport could not imagine what kind of battle awaited them.

…

Wei Junru, Fu Yisheng, and Wang Laohu walked hand in hand through the Suifen River and set foot on the land of Northeast China.

The military reporters and photographers from the Political Department recorded and preserved all these precious scenes.

In 7 hours from 2:30 to 9:30 in the morning, the two Eastern Route Army groups turned the three impregnable Japanese fortresses into ruins. With the two armored divisions as the vanguard, the ground troops marched towards Ning'an along the railways and highways.

Advance.

Standing on the ruins of Suifenhe Fortress, you can faintly smell the barbecue-like smell seeping out from the cracks in the rocks.

After being hit by general hammers and earthquake bombs, Air Force fighter planes dropped dozens of incendiary bombs on the ruins of the three fortresses.

The flames had only just died out.

The Soviet colonel who was watching onlooked at the concrete block with his leather boot, and the originally extremely hard concrete suddenly turned into a ball of ash.

The Soviet colonel was shocked and extremely curious about the weapons used by the Chinese, but he had no chance to get close and inquire.

"Lao Wei, Lao Wang!" Fu Yisheng climbed up the ruins with a smile on his face,

"The 103rd Armored Division and the 104th Armored Division have advanced 50 kilometers. According to the prisoners, there were originally 35,000 people stationed in the three fortresses. When the fortress collapsed, only one or two thousand people escaped, and most of them were trapped.

in!

Now blocking the front of the 103rd Armored Division and the 104th Armored Division is the Japanese tank regiment, with about 200 tanks and a similar number of armored vehicles!

The main force of the Japanese Third Army has built fortifications behind the three tank regiments, preparing to use the terrain to stop us!"

The Changbai Mountain range stretches vastly. If we do not attack along roads and railways, the troops' heavy equipment will not be able to function, and they will probably be trapped in the deep mountains and old forests by the Japanese who are often active in this area.

Therefore, on the 100-kilometer route, the two armies of the Eastern Route Army had only one attack direction, and that was to the west.

Wei Junru's brows twitched. There were at least 200,000 Japs blocking the front of the two armies. He said:

"You can't give the little devil time to build a defensive line!

I just received a telegram from Xiyuan Headquarters. The little Japs from Hutou Fortress and Miaolin Fortress in the north are moving in our direction, with at least 200,000 troops!

The last 100 kilometers are made up of continuous mountains. If we can't push them out as quickly as possible, our 400,000-strong army will be blocked by the little devils on dozens of kilometers of mountain roads, and they won't be able to reach Ning'an at all!

Lao Wang!”

"exist!"

Wang Laohu, the military commander of the 3rd Group, answered loudly.

Fu Yisheng spread out a map. Wei Junru pointed at the map and said to Wang Laohu:

"You bring an army to the front line to cooperate with the armored division's operations. You will mobilize all the fighter planes in the sky and artillery fire on the ground. You must break through the narrowest 50 kilometers in front before noon tomorrow!

Do you have any confidence?"

Wang Laohu took off the hat on his head, bent down and stared at the map for a few seconds, and said:

"Grandma, if you can't complete the task at noon tomorrow, I, Old Wang, will come to see you!"

"good!!"

Watching Wang Laohu jump on the jeep and drive away, Wei Junru said to Fu Yisheng:

"We have to guard against the little Japs in the north. Fortunately, we have absolute air supremacy and are always under control of the Japs' movements!

The little Japs in Hutou Fortress and Miaoling Fortress have not experienced our army's artillery fire, so they will definitely be careless and underestimate the enemy. Just give them a hard blow!

Lao Fu, you go and arrange it yourself, and ambush all the Zhong Kui on the only way for the Japanese reinforcements to pass by, dampen the spirit of the little Japanese, and buy time for our next deployment!"

"clear!"

Countless trucks and soldiers passed on the road below Suifenhe Fortress, flowing into the battlefield ahead like running water.

…

More than 500 of Xiao Jiang's tanks rolled over the ruins of Hylar City!

Tanks like steel monsters were rampaging through the ruins, and the tracks of some tanks had turned blood red because they had crushed too many corpses of Japanese soldiers and expats.

Thick smoke was rising everywhere in Hyrule City, and a few disgraced Japanese occasionally ran out of the ruins.

Xiao Jiang rested one hand on the seat of the Browning M2 heavy machine gun outside the turret. He had no interest in attacking the disgraced Japanese civilians who were fleeing in panic. What he was most looking forward to was the tank battle, the wanton galloping on the plains inside the pass.

.

Behind Hylar City is the Japanese Fortress of Unol. Although the fortress has not been completed yet, dozens of large-caliber howitzers have been installed inside.

If the armored division had the guts to charge forward, it would be doomed.

Therefore, Xiao Jiang could only lead a team to sweep through Hylar City and surrounding areas, waiting for General Hammer and Air Force aircraft to destroy the Unuo'er Fortress.

The general's hammer moves slowly, and it takes several hours to cover a distance of dozens of kilometers.

An hour ago, Xiao Jiang had just received news that the general had destroyed the Henan Taiwan position that had been stubbornly resisting.

"You should have gone to Uno Fortress..."

Xiao Jiang muttered to himself boredly.

"Ah...Long live..."

A dark-skinned man rushed out of the ruins. He rushed towards the tank holding something that looked like a pack of explosives.

Xiao Jiang immediately put his hand on the trigger of the heavy machine gun, only to let the machine gunner inside the tank get the upper hand.

A Japanese who was either an expatriate or a soldier was beaten into pieces by a machine gun, and the explosive package landed ten meters away from the tank, posing no threat.

"boom!"

The blood mist spread, leaving only dots of red in the ruins, and the attackers were already in pieces.

The number of anti-tank weapons equipped by the Japanese Kwantung Army was too small. They only had two means of attacking tanks, Molotov cocktails and suicide explosives.

With the cooperation of the infantry regiment, it was difficult for the Japanese who launched the attack to get close to the tanks.

500 tanks and about one division of infantry swept through the urban area of ​​Hailar for an hour. All the Japanese in the ruins were driven out, and the soldiers who did not surrender became meat under the tracks of the tanks.

The disgraced expats knelt on the ground in fear with their hands raised. When the tanks passed by, their heads hung deeply.

"Huhuhuhu..."

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Fighter planes roared over the heads of the armored clusters, dropping bombs one after another on the Unol Fortress.

General Hammer was not far behind. With every tremor of the earth, a two-ton cannonball hit Unuo'er.

More than 500 tanks were lined up neatly in front of the fortress, and the torrent of steel was waiting for the fortress to collapse.
Chapter completed!
